Well 99 out of 100 people's preference is to not do that and they go somewhere else other than Burke to ski groomers.

Fuck it man, you're right. Let's just close down all the mountains that aren't a major resort.

Don't you have a pass to Dartmouth? Same fucking thing. Might as well shut it down.

Again, in the right hands it could become a moderately successful place like a Saddleback. Like a Saddleback, it probably will need an investor that's got a passion for that kind of place and not looking to become Bob Katz rich.

Have you ever even rode there? It's a really good mountain. Better than Loon and WV by a long shot when they have the snow.

But you do you Captain Contrarian. You must be a blast to hang out with at parties.

That's undoubtedly the photo that hangs above his fire place. That he stands and stares at with a gas fire burning and sipping on his over priced pappy van winkle that he bought on the secondary market to sound cool to his millionaire buddies.

Wait, I'm the contrarian for saying a place that has never had robust visitation and went bankrupt three times doesn't have robust visitation and is a bad investment? Ok guy.

I would say you should check out Dartmouth sometime, because if you did you would see it literally packed with families and kids having fun pretty much daily after 2pm and every weekend, but you really work the asshole vibe and wouldn't fit in.
